Adding webinar videos

How to add webinar recordings to the DHtech website

At the moment we are storing the webinar recordings in the DARIAH-DE Publikator. For the videos to be streamable, however, we first need to convert them to allow faststart. This page describes how to use Handbrake for this and is based of this Stackoverflow thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10328401/html5-how-to-stream-large-mp4-files#10330501

Converting the recording

1. Install Handbrake
2. Open the mp4 recording video in Handbrake
3. Under the "Format" dropdown, make sure "Web Optimized" is selected.
4. Select a saving location for "Save as:" at the bottom.
5. Click "Start"

Uploading the recording to Publikator

1. Login to the Publikator
2. Create a new collection.
   • The title of the new collection should be "DHTech Workshop: " plus the workshop title (e.g. Authenication and Authorization).
   • The creator should be the person giving the workshop.
   • Under rights put "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/)".
   • For the description, you can put the description of the workshop.
3. Upload the converted recording into the collection.
   • For the uploaded file properties you can use the same as for the collection (title, creator, etc.).
4. Once you're happy with the collection, files, and their metadata, publish the collection.
5. You will now have a link to the uploaded files (e.g. https://repository.de.dariah.eu/1.0/dhcrud/21.11113/0000-000B-D236-B).

Adding a workshop page to DHtech

1. Clone the DHtech repository.
2. Create a new page in _workshops
3. Add the url for the recording you got from the Publikator as recording in the header.
4. Add slides and other info to the page.
5. For the text on the page, you can use the announcement and just change the tense of the text.
6. Commit and push your changes and open a pull request to master.
